Sudden loss of connectivity

I have WH-1090. It has been working well ince installation a few weeks ago.

Yesterday when closing to reboot computer an error message came up briefly and disappeared. Since then there are no data getting through to display on Cumulus:

At the same time on the station itself I have lost contact with the external sensors, although the inside temp, RH & barometric pressure are still displaying on the station.

I have restarted the computer & the station, swapped to an alternative USB socket to no avail.

I will check the sensors outside soon.

Can anyone suggest to me how to proceed, to investigate further please?

Cumulus deliberately won't work when the sensors have lost contact, although I guess it ought to make it more obvious that it's doing that. Currently, it just logs a message to the debug log, if switched on.

Edit: I've just changed it so it logs to the error log and flashes the error light.

Thanks Steve. I will cehck what's happened to the sensors. I take it that the info from the station itself (internal temp and humidity) is not enough to allow Cumulus to continue displaying that information if the external input stops.

I will check what's happened to the external sensors.

It could actually just display and log the pressure and the indoor temp and humidity; I can't remember the thinking behind not doing that. If I can't think of a good reason for it, I'll change it so it does.
